Land on one of (not both) of your ass checks, your bodies best padding. I say not both because then you might hit your tail bone, and that's never fun. Then you can do a back roll, launching off your hands onto your feet.

20 dude! It's been one of those things I've meant to revisit from when I was younger, and I've been toying about with it in my head for ages, I just bit the bullet the other day and decided to give it another go.

Same here also. But in stead of a Zero deck (which I actually held while making up my mind) I went for a Santa Cruz deck. Learning to ollie (again) was a strange expirience for me.. now to pop-shove and kickflip again! Happy riding!

I know this is super late, but you are me. All I do is write music and I decided I need another hobby. I haven't skated for years, but I just bought a new setup and am re learning. I just thought this was a weird coincidence haha.

I recently started up again inspired from my 6 year old daughter. I bought her a cruiser then a modern trick board. I said screw it and bought my self one to teach her and maybe learn some thing new. Kudos to you for getting back on the board. 31 y/o here.

I keep coming up with excuses for not picking it up. "Eh, I don't have health coverage." "I don't wanna drop money on a hobby I might not really like." "I'm gonna look like a fucking idiot, I'm almost 27." "No one will want to go out skating with me... or I'll be that weirdo the younger crowd just wants booze from." "My hair isn't gonna fit under a helmet."

I recently started back up after 5 years! It sucks because my body is about in the same amount of shape for skating as it was when I first started, but I'm trying to land tricks I could land and could almost land when I skated every day.
